FAN-COIL UNITS (FCU) & UNIT VENTILATOR SYSTEMS (UVS)

FCU and UVS have common traits such as
1. Both can provide cooling as well as heating
2. Normally move air by forced convection through conditioned spaces
3. Filter Circulating Air
4. May Introduce Outdoor Ventilation Air

2. Elements of FCU and UVS

1. Finned tube cooling and heating coil
2. Filter
3. Fan Section
4. Face and Bypass damper (UVS)

 Fan recirculates air from the space through the coil which contains hot or chilled water.
 A cleanabe and replaceable moderate efficiency filter upstream of the fan helps in
preventing clogging of the coil with dirt and lint entrained in the recirculated air. It also
helps protect the motor and fan and can reduce the level of airborne contaminants in the
conditioned space.

 To achieve a promising low lift cooling the promising way is to integrate four available
technology elements 1. VSD motors for the compressors and auxiliary fans and pumps
2. Hydronic Radiant Cooling Systems 3. Thermal Energy Storage (TES) 4. DOAS. 30%
to 70% energy savings was found depending on the climate and the building envelope,
when all four systems work together.

 Model accuracy is strongly related to evaporating temperatures and pressure drop

predictions. Neglecting the pressure drops, especially pressure drop in evaporator and
suction pipe, can have significant consequences for the COP and shaft speed prediction
because it influences the compressor suction state.
